- A guy is standing on a relatively flat surface (h = 0 m). A pesky drone is flying overhead at a height of 120 m above the ground and with a velocity of 15 m/s. The guy gets annoyed and fires an arrow with an initial velocity of 100 m/s the instant the horizontal distance between him and the drone is 5 m. At what angle must he fire the arrow in order to hit the drone? Take the guy's height to be 1.8 m. Just to clarify, would shooting an arrow follow the same rules as a regular projectile motion problem? Thanks.arrow_forwardI am again standing on the sky scraper building of height 45.0 m. I throw a metal ball from the top of the building at an angle of 30.00 above the horizontal surface. The ball lands 75 cm from the base of the building.
